Shorty: Wow, Hi kids. We haven't seen you guys in a long time. How are you doing? Me and Einstein Skippy here are trying to make an invention out of stuff. Yes, I know you must be asking what kind of stuff we are making it with, BUT, even we don't know yet. Einstein Skippy will invent this stuff thing and show it to us when it is finished, yes he will, he will. I wonder what he is making.

Skippy: I did it, I did it. I have made the biggest, most hugest, enormousest, no one has ever made one quite like this before, and no one could if they tried to. Yes, it is the only one of it's kind. Never seen before and never will be again, I myself, Einstein Skippy have created the biggest mistake in the world.

Shorty: A mistake. What happened. What did you use? What did you make?

Skippy: Well, I got a big bowl, and a bunch of letters. Then I put all of the letters into the bowl to figure out what letter my new invention was going to start with. That's when I got creative and poured a bottle of soap bubbles into the bowl. Then I slowly placed my hand into the bowl of bubbly letters, and snatched one of the slimy letters from the unexpecting bowl.

Shorty: What letter did you get, What letter did you get?

Skippy: I, Me, Einstein Skippy got the letter B.

Shorty: I don't understand where you made a mistake.

Skippy: Well, it wasn't so bad until I put the soapy letter B into the blender.

Shorty: What happened?

Skippy: Right then the blender fell over and out came the BUBBLE BEE.

Shorty: Oh no, a bubble bee.

Skippy: Yes, it's true. I accidentally made the mistake of making a bubble bee. Shhhl!! Did you hear that sound?

Shorty: What sound?

Skippy: Wait, listen. There it is again.

Shorty: Oh, you mean that big, giant, loud, buzzing noise that sounds like it could be one of those bees that jump from flower to flower in the grass.

Skippy: Yep, that's the one.

Shorty: You mean that buzzing sound that is coming from that weird looking bumble bee that is sitting right behind you?

Skippy: YELLS!!!!!!!!!

Shorty: Lets play with it.

Skippy: No, Shorty. We can't. It will sting us.

Shorty: What? That little guy. He wouldn't sting us.

Skippy: Shorty, I know he seems like he would be fun to play with, but you have to resist him. He is dangerous. He looks like he wants to be your friend and play with you, but in the back of his little bubble bee mind he is making a plan to sting you.

Shorty: He won't hurt us. Come here little guy. Come play with me and Einstein Skippy.

Skippy: Come here Shorty. I have something I want to give to you before you play with the bubble bee.

Shorty: A surprise. I'll be right back Mr. bubble bee. You stay right there.

GO BEHIND THE STAGE

Skippy: Here, put this on. It will keep you from getting stung by that cute little bubble bee.

Shorty: Oh, come on Einstein Skippy. That cute little bubble bee wouldn't hurt a fly.

Skippy: Maybe not. But he will hurt you if you don't put on this protective shield.

SHORTY GOES BACKUP

Skippy: Shorty, Wait

Shorty:- Come- here you cute little- adorable - little bubble bee you.

Skippy: Stay still Shorty or he will sting you.

BUBBLE BEE STARTS GOING TO SKIPPY

Shorty: Oh, look Einstein Skippy he wants to play with you.

Skippy: No, I think he wants to turn me into an instant pit cushion.

BUBBLE BEE TRIES TO STING SKIPPY. THEN HE TURNS TOWARDS SHORTY.

Skippy: Quick Shorty. Go put on your armor suit.

Shorty: Come here you cute little bubble bee.

BUBBLE BEE STINGS SHORTY

Shorty: Ouch, the cute little bubble bee that wasn't going to sting me just stung me.

Skippy: I tried to warn you Shorty.

Shorty: Why didn't he sting you too?

Skippy: I knew that he was dangerous, and I put on my bubble bee armor suit.

Shorty: Wow! That really works.

Skippy: Come on Shorty. Lets go put something on that bubble bee sting.

Shorty: You're really smart. Now I know why they call you Einstein Skippy.
